Anand + Zil – Pre Wedding Shoot – Fort Clinch State Park

Anand and Zil – a wonderful couple with a great chemistry – decided to fly in from New York to Jacksonville for their engagement photo shoot before they leave for India to celebrate their grand wedding in Ahmedabad.

So when they were in Jacksonville, we drove to a nearby fort – Fort Clinch State Park – which is one of our favorite places to do an engagement photo shoot, just because there are many tunnels and underground rooms with wonderful light, plus the beach is right behind the fort and a hike in the woods is just too easily accessible. We decided to start off the session in the fort, it was extremely cold and cloudy early in the morning but by 10am the sun was glistening hot.

They looked so adorable together that we did not feel like leaving our cameras down, I am sure you figured that out by looking as so many wonderful pictures of them. The above picture is one of my favorites. Emotions of Zil and Anand along with the ‘Chemistry’ between them, composition and the perfect light makes me happy looking at the shot!

After a quick lunch break and outfit change, we headed to Vilano beach for some pictures in the golden light.

This glorious day with them ended by visiting the streets of St.Augustine and the famous tourist spot Fort Castillo de San Marcos. We cannot wait to photograph this couple’s wedding in January in India.
